I've had my XLT for many years with lots of great finds under my belt, but one day comes to mind that is kind of special. My buddy and I were looking for lots to hunt and being in southern California, the lots can be difficult to find on a good day. We were driving around town and came upon a corner lot in a residential neighborhood that was small. We both figured what the heck, so we got out our detectors and went to work. After a few minutes of finding old glass and age indicators, it was obvious we had stumbled onto an older home site from the early 1900's. In Southern California, this is kind of unusual that nobody else had found it before us, but miracles do happen. I ended up finding some very ornate brass things such as door lock keyholes, a medal from the National Leather Shoefinders Assn. and this very rare Cole Motor Car Company Radiator Emblem. The Cole Motor Car Company only made cars for a few years and very few were made to begin with, making this an extra rare find indeed.

My White's detector always finds the best stuff!
